I liberated half a continent and somehow people still act surprised I declined to become the CEO of South America. by José de San Martín

Historic lesson: sometimes the most powerful move is leaving the chat after winning it.

Easy for you to say, Bernardo, you got to be his emotional support vice president while I inherited the group project.

He really did the hardest part, said absolutely not, and vanished like a man dodging his own meeting invite.

I left because somebody had to keep the drama from becoming a full-time occupation.

Declined is a generous word. You handed me a winning bracket and said good luck, bro.
